You will definitely enjoy either one.

I would like to go with the anthracite as my first choice. I have a silver Jag already, but don't mind silver one bit. I see that you have both a XKR coupe and a XKR100 coupe, can you tell a difference in the steering response since the 100 has the updated sharper suspension.
Thanks for any info,

The comparison is not very accurate in my case as the 2000 XKR is quite used up and needs a lot of work where the XKR 100 is in excellent condition and is quite precise. I am going to use the 2000 XKR as my project car with a lot of modifications and make it a streetable track car. My wife's 2002 XK8 is also in excellent condition and so it is great for a comparison to show the ride and handling difference between it and my 100. Definitely noticeable, as you would imagine between an XK8 and an XKR.
